Abstract :
We report on the current status of the Effelsberg-Bonn HI Survey, a new large-scale single-dish observing campaign to map the 21-cm line emission across the full northern hemisphere. Using state-of-the-art spectrometers it is feasible to survey the Milky Way Galaxy as well as the local universe within a single run. The improvement in terms of sensitivity, angular resolution, and data quality is demonstrated in comparison to present day datasets.
